現代語訳
御着になったにつき、御道中より差し出された御口上書を、御留守居・荒川十右衛門（直朗）が持参し、御用番・本多中務大輔（忠良）殿へ差し出した。
口上覚
拙者儀、今度参勤のため先月二十二日国許を発足し、当五日に参着仕るべきと存じ候ところ、大井川満水につき、参勤の面々が宿々に差し支え候。これにより遠州浜松の駅に滞留し、明七日に御当地へ着致すべく候。御目にかかり次第、早速御機嫌を伺い奉りたく存じ候間、明七日早朝に着候はば、御六ヶ敷くはございますが、御登城以前に御伺公致したく存じ候。右の段、御意を得べく、使者をもって申し入れ候。

四月六日
一、四月七日（六時前）、品川駅の御泊より直ちに御参府のため、御案内として御老中へ廻勤し、御用番・本多中務大輔（忠長）殿にて御逢いなされた。
一、同日、右同断につき、上使として御老中・松平右京大夫（輝貞）殿がお越しになり、上意の趣を御達しがあった。（上使の御取り扱いは例のとおり。）
一、同月十一日、三国湊沖之口留が御免になったにつき、他国米を去る八日までに一万六千百八俵買い上げ、米が高直にならず、これにより餓死人も出来せず、下々が相悦んでいる旨、郡奉行が達した。
英語訳
Upon His Lordship's arrival in Edo, the written message (kōjōgaki) that had been dispatched during the journey was brought by the resident agent (rusuí) Arakawa Jūuemon (Naoaki) and presented to the duty senior councillor (goyōban rōjū) Honda Nakatsukasa-no-Tayū (Tadayoshi).
Memorandum of Verbal Communication
I had intended, in accordance with my duty of alternate attendance (sankin-kōtai), to depart my home domain on the 22nd of last month and arrive in your city on the 5th of this month. However, owing to the flooding of the Ōigawa River, those of us making the sankin-kōtai procession were delayed at various post-stations along the route. I therefore remained at the post-station of Hamamatsu in Tōtōmi Province, and plan to arrive in your city on the 7th of tomorrow. As I am eager to pay my respects to you without delay upon my arrival, I humbly request that, should I arrive in the early morning of the 7th, you permit me to call upon you before proceeding to the castle, though I recognize this may be an inconvenience. I convey this message through my messenger in order to inform you of the above.
Respectfully,
6th day of the 4th month
Item: 7th day of the 4th month (before the sixth hour [around 6 a.m.]). Proceeding directly from his lodging at Shinagawa post-station, His Lordship made his official arrival visit (gosanpu). As is customary, he made his rounds to call upon the Senior Councillors (rōjū), and met with the duty councillor Honda Nakatsukasa-no-Tayū (Tadanaga).
Item: On the same day, in connection with the same matter (his arrival), the Senior Councillor Matsudaira Ukyō-no-Dayū (Terusada) came as an envoy bearing the Shōgun's message (jōi), and conveyed its contents. (The reception of this envoy followed customary procedure.)
Item: 11th day of the same month. The embargo on the offshore entry-point (okiguchi dome) at Mikuni Harbor was lifted, and as a result, up to the 8th of this month, 16,108 bales of rice from other provinces had been purchased. The rice price had not risen excessively, and consequently no deaths from starvation had occurred. The rural magistrate (kōri bugyō) reported that the common people were greatly relieved.
